  1. Yes in congested areas best to use Freq Finder App and to see if the Comtek RX is locking to any Frequencies before you turn on TX. On the 216 Comtek a blinking red light means it is seeing signal and solid red means no signal detected. Last year I was shooting on the back deck of a house on a mountain outside of a town. I couldn't get more then 20 feet out of my Comtek and it was trying to lock to signal without TX on. I asked owners if they were aware of any cell towers or tv stations near by. They then told me about a few blocks away was a TV station and TV tower.
  2. you must have been on a dirty frequency with just the bag based TX I get great range. With the Base station and Mighty Mite Antenna I have gotten a couple hundred yards easily
  3. The Sound Guy Solutions Cups are also built very well like everything they make
  4. Here is an other article about it http://www.lectrosonics.com/europe/Press-Releases/nfl-films-selects-lectrosonics-for-on-field-audio.html
  5. Many of us had a listen to at the ATL Sound event earlier this month it is a great product with great range and great sound
  6. I haven't donated in 2 years so send my $50.00 in support of this great site. Thanks Jeff for keeping it in tip top shape
  7. If I have to travel and shoot the same day especially when flying I bill from when I get to the airport to depart till we are wrapped at hotel after shoot. I only live 10 mins from the airport if your far from airport I would bill from when you depart your house

  10. Have you reached out to Vark near Washington DC 301 229-0288
  11. You have to pay the Expedite fee for $50 or $75 I don't remember exact amount for them to look at it as soon as they get it if not it takes a few weeks. They are very durable though.
  12. Just cosmetic its a more durable coating.
  13. Been using Spot Trace for about 9 months works great no regrets buying it. https://www.findmespot.com/en/?cid=128
  14. Had these reader for awhile too works great super fast and can dump both cards at once
  15. The people that hire me know they could save a $100-$200 a day sometimes hiring a less experienced mixer with no extra gear or back ups for some straight forward jobs but they don't because they don't want to risk there reputation over a few hundred bucks. I had a simple corporate interview job this week 5 interviews boom only to camera less then 6 hours. I still got $800/10 for gear and labor. The camera guy that hired me could have used his 416 into the camera directly and made another $800 or hired someone else for $500 all in for the day to make $300 extra but he didn't because he charges a good rate and in addition to providing good sound I was also able to help him set up and also helped keep the client out of his hair while he got set up. I am always his first call on jobs that have the budget for sound. Good sound mixers bring much more to the table then just great sound. Bring more to the table and people will pay you more
  16. There are certain folks I work for that I just never cut once we start rolling because of issues like this.The lack of proper set protocol is terrible though
  17. The firmware revision list shows you all the changes. Most changes have been due to component changes. All 411A on current firmware for the hardware in them perform the same http://www.lectrosonics.com/Support/Table/Audio-Board/2.0-Series/
  18. Any Lectro dealer should be able to get one for you. You need a PC the correct HEX file and the update Utility. You remove the cover on SR and plug in a special cable then update. You can also update a few other products too but not all of them I have had for many years http://www.pro-sound.com/p/lectrosonics-lectrolink-firmware-adapter-and-freq-utility-tool.html
  19. No But on the website it says you cannot field update SR or SRB which is not correct if you have the Lectro Link update interface ( Which I own) you just need the right HEX file to do the update.
  20. You can update any Lectrosonics SR , SRA, SRB or SRC with the Lectro Link you just need the firmware file.
  21. Yes I am aware! All of us are concerned that is all that is budgeted for. So we will see. I did EPK on the new "Gifted" movie which was shot on film. They were regularly shooting 25,000-30,000 feet per day with two cameras. Originally we expected to be rolling 10,000 feet a day
  22. That is my hope they are only planning on shooting about 5000 feet a day and we are single camera. I am hoping this will contribute to a great final product. They agreed this afternoon to follow the recommendations of myself and the lab. They are going to edit at 24 with audio being at 24/48. Yes this is the reason the Lab did not want a 30 workflow and I agreed. I appreciate all the input
